Reply #18: The five-lined skinks here in Kansas

[tblue37]

are tiny, not enormous. Are you sure it was an "official" five-lined skink? The ones I have seen are about 1 1/2 inches long and a beautiful iridescent blue.

I love lizards. Of course, I also love snakes, turtles, birds, ferrets, dogs, cats, and lots of other animals. I write about all of them on that site--including the black panther that pissed all over me and the pet alligator (actually a cayman) we had in 1960.

I haven't yet written about the 6 foot alligator that rushed my son while he was taking a leak behind a tree off the side of the road in the Florida Everglades. When I do I will have to disguise him, since the story embarrasses him.
